Lance Cpl. Jabari Thompson, 22, was mortally wounded last Wednesday while on routine patrol in Helmand Province. He died on Sunday, the Defense Department said. Gov. Cuomo ordered all flags on state government buildings to fly at half-staff Friday to honor Thompson.

"On behalf of all New Yorkers, we honor the service and dedication of Lance Cpl. Thompson," Cuomo said. "I send my deepest condolences to the family, friends and fellow Marines of this New Yorker and join with them in mourning his loss."
